Mother Necessity

I wasn’t able to find pizza sauce in bulk at Sam’s today so I decided to buy a bunch of tomato paste instead and make it from scratch. I found this recipe on AllRecipes.com (my go-to site for cooking ideas) and it is delish!

I don’t keep anchovy paste on hand and so I omitted that. The reviews on AllRecipes encourage you to include it to balance out the sweetness of the honey. Instead, I just put half as much honey as it called for and I think it turned out great. Next time, I probably won’t put the store-bought shredded Parmesan in it. If I add any cheese at all, I might add the (shock!) powdered Parm instead.

If you want to check out my go-to pizza dough recipe, you can find it here. For a list of the pizzas I’ve been making lately, check out this post.
